Swello Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 36 minutes ago, Ron Aldo said: Seems a young age for him to retire. I don't remember him being injury prone or anything like that. I loved Andy Rose and will fight anyone who says he isn't one of the most underrated players ever to play for us (certainly in my 20+ years as a fan). Does he not have diabetes or some other long term condition? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's mentioned in the news story the Sounders put up. Quote Rose was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 26 and launched Type 1 United at the start of 2020 while playing for Whitecaps FC. The community initiative, in partnership with Diabetes Canada, connects with T1D children and their family. Link 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Alan Forrest to St Johnstone will be an interesting parallel to our situation with Watt and United, depending on if a deal happens and how much money Livi end up getting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we'll go to 6 figures for Forrest tbh, or Rudden. Deas was different was he's got a long deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 In all seriousness we seemingly have approaching £5m sitting in the bank before you add in the government money. I hope we get properly desperate in the end and start launching mega bids all over the shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porter was (for a centre forward) a really undemonstrative player - just quietly went about his business and he got shots on target more than other other 'Well striker I've seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_tony Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Chris Porter for me... Was Porter underrated? I seem to remember everyone loving him (quite rightly).Edited to add, totally agree on Andy Rose. I thought he was a cracking player who just went about his business with little fuss. Spoke so well when interviewed too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Andy Rose was one of those players who most fans seemed to be not keen on but when you took him out the team the difference was incredible. As busta says, he’d have been brilliant in this current system. In terms of mental bids, did St Johnstone not try some incredibly low ball bid for one of our players a couple of years ago? Not quite as bad as Accies offering 50k or whatever it was for Jamie Murphy back in the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you not spending more throughout the squad never mind the odd player who doesn't seem much better than what you already have?And yes, Porter wasn't under-rated. At least, not by Motherwell fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fucking great, everyone knew it and everyone loved him. I was waiting on you turning up to explain it. A favourite of yours. But aye, there was a boy on Twitter who, on about six different occasions over a three year period, kept popping up to say Chris Porter was underrated. Which he wasn't, by anyone. He was brilliant, and him scoring his first goal with his arse v Gretna at Fir Park is a happy memory. Also, until we score the winner in a Scottish Cup Final, I don't think I'll celebrate a goal as much as I did when he scored that equaliser in the cup tie at Tynecastle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you not spending more throughout the squad I think they're trying to be smart with it, which is fine. £150k offer for Deas which would've been the highest fee we've spent in decades, but he'd have been first choice for years. No point wasting good money on bad. Very few players will want to join us this month when we're quite clearly destined for the bottom two at best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
